Challenger Drag Pak Owners

[Mike Roth]

As my good friend Mike Kuhl once said, "Spare me your technical bullsh#t, show me your timeslip"
Drooze, maybe you should call your shop "new2hemiracing".... especially if you think these cars are capable of making an eight second pass. It's evident you have no clue what that actually takes. Mike

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

An 8.99, yes I think in a year they will be capable possibly,youve ever put your hands in one of the Drag Pak motors, and know what the numbers on the spec side (not the blueprint guide) but flow numbers and dyno numbers of these engines then yes.... well I can tell you there are about 5 other guys right now who were sharing R&D info with that all agree between us well have 6 cam profiles and 5 different configs of headers as well as the trans stuff all by Gainesville....soo....much more effort than we could afford to do on our own or them on their own.....do any of us think its guarenteed ? No, do we think its possible , yes......are on the Im not saying its a lock, Im saying its possible I believe with some R&D and running out.......They are already with the few out there at 9.7s and fat. soooooooo......Probably the way they are theyre already good for 9.6.

Like I said to someone else my favorite quote is from Einstein "Wether you think you can or not youre right" so, in as much as you building one youre right, in as much as me building one Im right, were both right see how easy that was

Timeslips coming Pomona to Gainesville

Irv, the blog is http://newhemiracing.blogspot.com, I did it so I could track build progress and show others what they will be up against in terms of those like us who choose to do the rest of the build themselves with their own hands. Stupid shtuffzzz like this will get in the way of that and the like.

In as much as having no clue goes.......Its late and Im tired so maybe I took what you said the wrong way. If not, Ill be happy to wager Our car will be faster by Gainesville than any of your DP builds Name the stakes something friendly and in good spirit. Lunch, Dinner, a Ball Game. I heard you were doing a few more builds is that correct ? (Mind asking who for Zeeeee list ?)

Well see in a year from now if I was right, and youll see our timeslips dont expect our combo to be dialed in and wrung out till Gainesville.....Its looking very possible well be showing up at Pomona untested.

Would be a real kick to you guys if the guys who dont know jack run faster the first time out than Warford did wouldnt it

Cheers

Chris

Hopefully the ebay cars (if sold) will see track time with the new owners.

Att. Chris W......Mind sharing what your raceweight will be + or --? You know....Wertman Family Racing---"The White Elephant" graphics on the side of your DP might not look too bad..... WJ

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Ask and ye shall recieve....

Race weight ? Well thats yet to be determined. AA or A for Pomona? Hell first I need a running car

The CAR weight right now with a full load goes under 2990 DRY......With fluids Id say 3050-3060, we have a 3qt accumulator and extra trans vols....so...

I can drop another 50 easy but I need to be back at my shop so that won happen. I can also move up 200 lbs legally (putting items back on that were replaced with lightweight counterparts.

So race weight ?

Car weight after Gainesville when I have her home for a few days, under 3000

Hate to say it again (its on the blog as well as all the items the went poof or were replaced (most back in Id say mid - late Nov)

Car got a name...I like it , its a play on Meglomaniac....

On the car wrap under it the definition has been adjusted to

"
1. A psychopathological condition in which delusional fantasies of speed, power, or performance omnipotence predominate.
2. An obsession with grandiose or extravagant race cars and fuel injection systems.
"

See we really dont need others to poke fun at us were quite capable on our own

Cheers

ok !

If running 8.99 and talking about 8.99 took the same effort you'd be there already for sure. However, something called reality gets in the way once you launch the car and get your time slip that says 10.xx

Damn reality............ it was so much easier on the internet.

Bo Knows!!! Bo, we got our Top Stock, excuse our Super Stock, excuse me our Stock motor ready for the dyno. Trusty old 360 Wedge. You remember that motor. I fugure abouty 9.99 in I/SA. I guess I shouldn't smoke that stuff anymore.
